I wouldnt use the editor to do the kits, best to do that stuff by hand in the init.con file cos that is where the ediotr will save it anyways at the end, and screw up all the other code u have in there that is needed for PR.

also yes, the editor is slow, it dose take a long time to load loads of objects, then huge files to do a map, and when saving with the level editor you are normal saving code (text) files and when you are saving in the terrain editor you are saving to raw data files, and big images.

Rhino, quick question. You say to not set the teams using the editor... so... should I just blank them all out? I think I tried that and it said I had to declare soldiers for each class...or am I looking at the wrong thing?

Also, if I leave it with the teams I have set, is it simple enough to change it in the init file after packing? or will it also overwrite some PR stuff?

***edit*** after reredaing your post, im assuming you meant that it will overwrite whatever I put in anyway... so dont worry responding if thats the case... sorry.

No, Okita. I'll tell you what I do, I use the editor to make a template for the team. This will give you the basic structure needed. All you have to do is change the names of the kits to the right ones, and if necessary, the body files.

After you have done that, and added the extra lines required to make limited kits work, etc., doing anything in the editor that affects the init.con will overwrite the entire file (it basically rewrites the .con files each time). So I would suggest making it read-only after hand editing it.

Great Griffon, thanks a ton, thanks for a quick reply. cleared up the confusion.
Going to work on the map all tonight (maybe play some Open Beta .6 though if I cant resist)
Hoping to get this map done sooner rather than later.
Thanks again,
Okita
